A Worthy Institution.

There are those in the world who, if
they could sell themselves for what
they think themselves worth, would be
millionaires, but happily the great ma
jority Of humanity do not invest in such
unreliable ventures with wind as the
only ballast. Some business men also
find it more profitable to do business
upon a wind basis than upon legiti-
mate one, until their capital stock be-
comes so inflated with falsehoods,
Misrepresentation and conceit, that
it bursts by its own weight
and the public can observe
the fiimsy texture of tee fabric There
are also some business colleges that
adopt such preteXts for gaining public
favor, but the Curtiss business college
is acknowledged to be the only thor
Ough, practical and efficient one in the
Northwest, where your sons and daugh-
tiers can obtain an education based upon
sound business principles, and while
this fact has been proven by the testi-
monials of hundreds of its graduates,
yet there are few important points of
excellence it does not profess to cover,
as is claimed by would-be competitors.
First--We do not lay the flattering
JUNCTION to our soul nor deal it out to
sensible business men, that our gradu-
ates are prepared to keep the books
and transact business of any firm in
the CITY," We profess too much respect
for the sagacity OF our merchant friends.

Sport. s.
A farmer from Pike county, ILL.,, reg
istered at the Hotel de Ferris, Mexico,
Mo-, as Andrew Perrins. During the
evening he fell asleep on settee on the
front veranda, says the Kansas City
Times. His sleep was so deep that sew
eral trains pulled in with much noise,
but failed in any way to disturb him.
But when everything had become quiet
he raised himself from the settee,
walked to the end of the veranda and
asked in keen falsetto, ''Whar'S my
mules?" a.
The other men discovered that he was
fast asleep, but told him his mules were
at the depot. Immediately he walked
across the intervening space to the de-
pot and imagined truck of trunks to
be his mules. He was handed bucket
of water and told to water them, which
he did, holding the weter to the truck
handles. Again he was handed some
straw, and being told to feed his mules,
placed it under their imagined heads.
BY this time some one had secured a
glass of ice water, which, being dashed
into the farmers face, Immediately
awakened him. He was quite angry,
but the situation being explained to him
he soon recovered lis good humOr and
said that if some one had touched him
with the hand he would have been in
Stantly awake. He says he is the cham
pion somnambulist of the country, and
that his delusiOn is always the same
being in quest of runaway mules. The
peculiar part of the story is that he never
owned pair of mules in his life.

JUST AS GOOD AS AN ORDER.
A Funny Story About Gen. Meigs'
Horrible Penmanship.

During the war quantity of personal
property belonging to a resident of
Washington was seized and confiscated
by the United States. For many years
the original owner made repeated at
tempts to secure an order for it's restor-
alton from the quartermaster who had
charge of it. But he was Obdurate and
insisted that it should be restored only
through an act of congress. Still the
attorney for the plaintiff persisted,
and again he wrote to Quartermaster-
General Meigs for an order of restor-
alton.
This was about the seventh attempt,
and the officer had grown inpatient. He
wrote an exceedingly vigorous reply, in
which he emphatically refused to do as
requested. The handwriting was fright
full. The attorney saw his chance. He
fastened to his client and, thrusting the
letter to him, said: 81 have succeeded
at last. Here is the ORDER" The s'or-
der' was taken to the corral, where the
officer in charge recognized the sigma
ture and at once turned over the prop
erty.
When Gen. Meigs asked what had be-
come of it he was told that it had been
restored on his order. He saw the or
der, and as he could not read it he sim
ply said: II do not remember signing

If there is any one thing about a
lady's wearing apparel that she thinks
more of than another it is her hat or

else on earth. Just at this particular
time Nine. Coe and her full corps of &C
cOmplished artists are succeeding very
nicely in this Herculean task of supply
ing exactly the right style of millinery
goods to suit the greatest number of peo-

fortune to purchase the most popular
goods of the season, and her selections
in every case seem to be special orders

A display that has attracted universal
attention from the housewives of the
Northwest the past thirty days is tina
of the Anderson Preserving company
on the second floor of the Exposition,
and the uneXcelled quality of their
goods has been generally commented
upon as the finest ever tasted. The
company's two specialties are "Ander-
sons Boston Market Tomato Ketchup"
and "Anderson's New Jersey Baked
Sweet Potatoes" but they include in
their list all kinds of canned vegetables
and fruits. The process of preserving
is peculiarly the company's own. and
while purity and quality are the princi-
pal essentials sought, yet the prices of
their unsurpassed goods are no higher
than those of inferior grade. Every
heusekceper in the country, if they
could but once test these goods, would
buy no other. The company will have

The Curtiss college advocates nothing
it cannot fulfill; it does not rely upon
students to take charge of its various

are indelibly impressed upon the stu
dents mind long after he has severed

much more is necessary. Every animal

Always in the Front Rank.

Such is the we'll desel we'd motto that
the Columbus Buggy company have
honestly earned through their unex-
celled display at the Exposition. While
their name has been household one
since its incorporation, it will become
more familiar in the future, as a per-
sonal attestation has been made by
thousands of visitors, to the beauty, fin
ish, durability and general excellence
of its work. And it can be said without
fear of contradiction, that the unparall-
eled success enjoyed by this
company since its creation
has been from the fact
that it has always given its customers
the best goods for the least money. The
universal opinion of those who want a
vehicle in the spring is that thes Column
bus" fills the bill, and a great many
have become so fully impressed with
the cheapness of the Columbus over
other makes that they have given their
order for one to be delivered this fall.
